wow imagine disqualifying someone BEFORE the proper research was even done. So corrupt

[mxcqsvt]

The fact that its a potential winner makes it even worse tho

[kristijangrgic]

I thought people were not guilty until proven otherwise ??

[remconoordermeer]

Wow. The official statement is out. Apparently a Swedish camerawoman kept filming him, after repeated requests to stop it. He then “made a threatening gesture towards the camera.” Nobody was touched, just a threatening motion after being harassed. Apparently that gets you disqualified.

To all people in the Netherlands. Since your country was disqualified from the Eurovision Song Contest today, the Netherlands should not award points to the Eurovision Song Contest today. I love the Netherlands.🙏♥️🇳🇱💪

why did the camera woman not get arrested instead of Joost? she was filming against his will

[HYDROCARBON_XD]

Turns out the photographer was lying, joost never hit the woman he just got angry and covered the camera, just because he was slightly aggressive he got disqualified, what is this poop show

The reason.. official statement

'An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clear agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This was not heeded. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police. Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed various solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AvroTros finds the measure very heavy and disproportionate. We stand for good manners, let there be no misunderstanding about that, but in our view an exclusion measure is disproportionate to this incident. We are very disappointed and upset, also for all the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe should not have ended this way.'

One of the band should REPLACE him. The EBU should not punish a whole country.

a female camera filmed joost, after the performance. And Joost asked manny times to stop the filming and he pusht the camara away. that is all

[rederickfroders]

No proper disclosure about what even happened

[Yoimiya_myLove]

it's terrible, it's a pity he was disqualified, I signed a petition for him to come back

[rainbowpapyg]

one of the best performers who is interesting to follow outside of Eurovision. It's a pity that they just leaked

[p.serrano]

I'm so mad. This is so stupid, it's a European country, that's have a music to Europe...and they prefer to Disqualify him? That's not right.

[TiLwbJeIrxxx]

It has become clear that directly after his show Joost was filmed against the rules and against his will. When he repeatedly told her that he did not want to be filmed at that moment and the camerawoman didn't listen, he made a threatening gesture towards her. He never touched her. So, this disqualification is disproportionate and very unfair.

[silkentertainment]
